Hello, everyone.
This is Enta.
Have you heard of PC spacers?
This is a spacer sold by Koiwa Wire Mesh, but,
I figured you guys might not know the benefits of this, so here's a quick work update lol
The best thing about it is the fit.
This PC spacer is shorter than the spray thickness.
| Spray Thickness (mm) | Spacer Height (mm) |
| 50 | 49 |
| 70 | 69 |
| 80 | 79 |
| 100 | 99 |
| 150 | 149 |
It's 1 mm thinner than the specified spray thickness.
This means the accuracy of the mortar spray application will improve.
With standard spacers, if the designed spray thickness is 100 mm, the spacer is also 100 mm.
If you cover it completely, the spray will generally end up about 10 mm wider. (Depending on the spray operator's skill.)
However, with a PC spacer, once your head is hidden, that's it.
Well, even so, I think it’ll still be off by about 5 mm.
I know you're probably thinking, "What about the hat?" but,
To begin with, it’s just a galvanized finish, so it’s not intended to provide the strength required of reinforcing bars.
As for product strength, its tensile strength is outstanding, so it seems to be perfect. (Compared to lath mesh)
During installation, check the tops of the PC spacers as you work, and
If you spray the material with a light, sweeping motion at the end, you can significantly reduce material waste.
Well, if it's thick, it does give you peace of mind, but,
Since costs are going up and we have to factor in the total number of days and other things, it’s better to spray the thickness exactly as specified in the design, right?
This is especially important given the strict cost control measures in place these days.
I recommend this because if you can cut costs even a little, the company will make more money ^^
Plus, using steel spacers adds a creative touch, doesn't it?
If you throw away leftover spacers, you can get some money for the metal ones, but
If it's plastic, you have to spend money to dispose of it.
Even just thinking about it that way, there are tons of great deals lol
See you later
